This picture symbolizes a lot of the anger and frustration that came out of 2017. How life had beat me to my knees, threw me to the ground, had me pinned, but I still refused to give up, even when letting go was only mere inches away. I had many, many, many dark nights alone where it all seemed hopeless...but I pushed through. I took it as a test of my will and strength, and I did what I had to do to survive, and then get back up to my fiance and son. Life hit hard, but I didn't let it keep me down. There have been many instances in my life where life seemed to hit me harder than I could take...but 2017 was a year of pure, raw, test of my will. I'm not glad it happened, but I'm happy to have learned a lot about myself, and happy to have used such a negative experience to gain something more in my life. I may have lost the battle, but I never lost the war. "I'm Not Done Yet."
